How can I understand my Andorid phone is original or not used by others?

Hello.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and I like to know it is original and not used by others. How can I find it?

Thank you.

Or you can try *#06# this code will give you the IMEI number of the device. If it does not or it does not match, your phone is fake.

What if you are on Verizon? I cannot use those codes.

Well i do not have idea about verizon. These are the general codes that could be used. *#06# one should work for sure as it just shows the imei number and i guess that is more than enough to show the authenticity.

If i understand your question correctly, its not whether its fake or real, but, rather whether its new or used or refurbished. I don't think you can tell. If a prior owner has done a proper factory reset and logged out of any prior wipe/lock software, then it will be pristine from a memory and software point of view. I think the only way to tell is from a physical point of view. Nearly any amount of use will result in some physical blemish or scratch somewhere. But, if someone bought it at a provider store, had it less than a day and returned it, you'll never be able to tell.
